Actor Emraan Hashmi tests positive for swine flu (H1N1) after several days of illness following recent work travel. Reports say his test results come back positive on Friday, August 28. Hashmi later updates fans that he is not well and will not be able to attend a scheduled Bengaluru show.
According to the accounts, the illness follows travel connected to his shoots, including time in Ranchi. While the outlets agree on his H1N1 diagnosis and his decision to postpone the event, they differ on details such as how directly he links the ailment to the diagnosis in his public message. Both sources cite his Instagram Stories, where he says the Bengaluru show is postponed rather than cancelled and points to a new date.
Hashmi’s message states he will meet audiences at Sunburn Union on 12 September (Saturday), with tickets remaining valid for the rescheduled date. The reports place his update alongside his current on-screen work, including the release and ongoing reception of Awarapan 2.
